My name is Vaughn, W0ULF in Albany, and I will be recording the listings of the Tuesday Night Swap Net each week for John and Cyrel, and then I'll be posting the listings here on the MY513.NET forums. If you see something here that you are interested in, please get in touch with the lister directly via their contact information or send me a private message here and I'll do what I can to relay the traffic.

If you are a lister and would like me to update your listing, please send me a private message and let me know what you'd like changed. I'll get to it right away. You can also contact me on the 145.130- repeater most evenings after 16:00 PST.

kc7omh - Steve - Wants to sell an Icom 271A All Mode 2m transceiver with tone board, preamp and voice module. The manual, original microphone, and power cord is all here. He rates it a 9.5/10! He also has a Mirage 100 watt amp. Steve would like $400 for the pair - this is a reduction of $50 from last week! He'd be willing to sell each seperately: the radio for $325 or the amp for $125 - Call him on his cell @ 503-434-3970

Although ORS 811.507 is principally concerned with cell phone use and texting. Car pooling from Philomath to Salem 4 days a week I've seen plenty of reason for this rule. As I read the law it would directly apply to mobile amateur radio use.

With that in mind I bought a headset with boom mike for my HT. Being a novice I'm still doing a lot of reading. I just came across an article stating that headsets are illegal in some states. I can't find if that is the case for Oregon.

My headset is VOX capable, but I'd be concerned about keying the repeater with ambient noise. What are the options for mobile operations if that's the case.

I'd like to personally thank Chris K7TVL for linking the 6.98 repeater, which is located on the KGW Tower in Portland, up to the 5.13 repeater system. Where I live in Salem I have a rather large hill to the south of my home QTH and listening to/hitting the 513 is rather annoying with all the phase distortion that occurs depending on weather conditions.

With this new link, participating in the 513 activities is far more easier and enjoyable than ever before, for not only myself of course, but I'm sure for others who may reside in the Greater Portland area.

I have noticed that the 6.98 doesn't seem to have that strong of a signal compared to other repeaters in the same area. In fact, when I'm mobile in Salem, the 5.13 has a much stronger signal than the 6.98. I don't know the real reason for this but maybe there is a legitamite reason for it.

Oh well, I'm just happy for the better access the to the 5.13 system. Thanks Chris.

To everyone on the network from Washington to Califronia and beyond...I want to wish everyone a very happy and prosporous new year. The 513 has been loads of fun. The expansion of the network has been wonderful! I look forward to continous contacts in the new year on AGON as well all the other nets... So, on behalf of the entire repeater network....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
